The diagnosis of herpes (cold sores) is easily made based on the visual appearance of the lesions, and the best approach is to see a doctor at the first sign of a blister. If there is concern that the rash may not be herpes, a swab of blister fluid may be collected for viral culture or polymerase chain reaction test.
Barrel-aged beers are typically part of big release events at your favorite craft beer destinations and, with a few exceptions, arenât going to be found every day. When you see a local brewery or craft beer bar holding a barrel-aged release, make it a point to be part of it.
A barrel-aged beer is any beer, either a traditional style or one brewed purely for experimentation, that has been aged for a period of time in a wooden barrel or in contact with wood. Typically, these barrels once housed wine, rum, whiskey, bourbon, tequila, and other wines and spirits.
